Description
Product Overview
The Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator is the dental industry’s leading turnkey solution for wastewater sediment management and strict EPA regulatory compliance. Certified under ISO 11143:2008 standards to remove greater than 99% of amalgam and heavy metal solids from waste streams, this system prevents harmful chemical discharge while actively protecting expensive downstream vacuum equipment. Designed with a clear, highly visible body for fast inspections, the compact NXT Hg5 operates continuously in the background and features a completely tool-free collection container changeout workflow.
Key Pillars of Value
-
Total EPA Regulation Compliance: Delivers full compliance with the EPA Dental Rule via an ISO-certified 99% separation rate, backed by an all-in-one mail-back recycling infrastructure that grants 24/7 online access to certificates of recycling.
-
Virtually Maintenance-Free Operation: Requires zero complex service contracts or upkeep. When the sediment line is reached, a tool-free, 2-minute collection container replacement keeps the operatory running without unexpected downtime.
-
Universal System Protection: Captures abrasive metallic sediment before it can reach and damage vacuum lines, significantly extending the operational life of both wet ring and dry vacuum pump systems.
